You get the money from other places than income tax on the poor

The poor are already an insignificant tax base, I thought you meant 5% for the middle class.
Middle class are the richer cohort of working class but they are still poor. We have a capitalist system. Unless you don’t have to trade time for money (ie are wealthy) you are poor. You might have a nice lifestyle but you have zero flexibility and options.
